It’s a decommissioned submarine right off the highway that you can go through at your own pace. There are buttons you can press for an audio tour and we were the only people on there at the time. Five stars, loved it!

This is on our list if we ever do the drive again! That did look cool.

And glad you stayed in places that didn't add to your travel time!

The Hartford area is not that special but there are plenty of hotels, supermarkets, easy restaurants, etc.

Agreed…Hartford wasn’t special (and we stayed in the suburbs) but had what we needed, which was a dog friendly safe hotel and a quick, good bite to eat nearby. The suburban Target was close by to grab the few things we forgot to pack! I wanted to get some good pizza in either NY or CT but it wasn’t meant to be this trip. We are going to plan another NYC trip now that the KIDDOS are older and can walk/hang with us. My youngest was in a stroller last time we went, and while some parts were fun, a lot of the trip was just a giant hassle (my sib lived there at the time, so we were just visiting them then). They love traveling and are so much more flexible than they used to be! We would not take the dog on that trip obvs.

Thank you for your contribution to the conversation. Very helpful.

Hubby, kiddos, doggo and I are too relaxed from our lovely vacation to have our feelings hurt. Thanks, anyway!
